I don't mean to be too cynical, but this drama does not seem to offer anything unique or refreshing. It is the same old Korean plot of male vs. second lead, spread all over with exes.

It is getting harder and harder with such plots because in 13 some episodes, leads are tormented, and bad guys are easily forgiven. Especially they make female lead so nice that she looks dumb and it boils my blood to see such female characters, who can not stand for herself, when ex comes bashing.

It wasn't about who is who, except for her lover, no would could guess, that Kang Bae was his unborn incarcerated child. I understand it can get boring if you see from a perspective of rom-com, but it was not romcom. I really enjoyed the show, and the message it try to give "(of happiness, no matter what), and the pain that characters hold behind their smiles, what makes me keep going.

In simple:
Male lead: is not convincing enough for their relationship from any angle.
Female lead: is boring and doesn't have any proper story or hold until now.
Second lead: he is not understanding, having been rejected he clings to his feelings.

The story could have been impactful, if writer had tried to give them a proper chance to resolve things. 12 episodes in and they broke-up already after being together for just 1 episode. WTH I mean.

OLD AHJUMA: this cunning bi**** is too much, and women of that age, seems like overpowered everything and male lead couldn't do anything to prevent their relationship going down to toilet.

ML lied because he also don't know that in past lives, old ahjuma was the one created misunderstanding between HJ and male lead, when he was arrested trying to save HJ from the scheming that old ahjuma created at the MUSICAL BOX shop. She wanted to separate them, but instead male lead got arrested. When he came back, old ahjuma showed him that HJ and DG are couple now. So he broke up with her went US or away.

That is why he lied, as he thinks she was responsible for their breakup and might suffer in this life knowing. But its always been old fucking ahjuma. Also, for that reason male lead resents and hostile towards DG and their relationship.

Because it is too much to handle. Like unnecessary separation of couple by old Ahjuma is totally crapy and out of the line.

The male lead has lied too many times to female, even though he genuinely loves her. 12 episodes have aired, and they still not a couple. The plotting of their separation is on peak, liek it boils my blood to see, that male lead is unable to do anything to that old ahjuma bi**** to stop. She trapped her again in this life as well, and to save her, he broke up with her, it wasn't actually breakup, but it was a forced breakup.

It just writer is not ready to give them enough chance to resolve their issues, and right when they should have been couple and strong, episode 13 will seem them apart, in 14/15 they will expose lies and truth will come out. Second lead will realise she try belongs to lead, she herself will be clear of her feelings and in last episode they will be able to make it.

So imagine, they will only get handful of 15-20 minutes of together and drama will end. So tell me is it worth watching?

Having said this, it isn't as bad, as Dinner Mate was, I will continue watching this drama, but if you are looking for less stressful story then this is not it.

This show is going to be a torture for those, who wants them to be together forever, because episode by episode, they are going to fall apart as secrets will unfold, until the every end. Either this will result in wife's death or husbands, there is a 50/50 chance that it will have a happy ending. I hope for good ending, as for 13-some episodes, writer will be tormenting us with secrets, so end better be good otherwise... its just a waste.

Nonetheless, Absolutely stunning drama series, from acting to tragic story to characters, making it impossible for us to guess whether it will have a happy ending or not - but the chances are bleak, like very bleak.

I mean, 32 episodes, and they created this? There was nothing special about this drama, not even the mental illness they try to project was properly educated. I actually felt truly sad for male ex as show ends, as he did a "fanfuckingtastic" job of portraying a psycho and someone who is in real pain... nonetheless at fault. No sympathy for female ex though. But salute to main leads, who despite good at acting, failed to create an inch of chemistry and love. There was a moment at the end of episode 15 when male ex-finally understood that he might lose the women he loves for doing all the crazing things so he decided to remove her from her mind and when he crosses her in hospital corridor, and pretended not to know her, broke my heart. I really felt bad for him... I wish him to find him his own happiness now.

Overall, it was just an average show!!!

Jung is such a talented young actor among all the Korean actors I have seen these days. His performance in this series, is like acting roller coaster of emotions, and this was one of the few series, where viewers don't have to listen to words to get the story. He acted, with such serenity and showed pain and conveyed all the script from his eyes. He has a power of telling stories through his eyes. In every drama of his, you can see, her eyes are actually doing all the work of acting

I've never seen a drama quite like this. From beginning to end, I was captivated by the characters, the story, the writing, the music, and the haunting melancholy that permeated every scene.

There were no elements of science fiction or fantasy, no time travel. Instead, it was a poignant tale of a woman navigating her life after enduring profound oppression.

Born into poverty, cherished by her family, she fell deeply in love with a solitary soul. Their time together was brief, but her love for him was so intense that when he was taken from her, it petrified into sorrow. She couldn't love anyone else, not even herself. Suppressing her emotions, she made the tragic decision to turn away from their son, the one thing she could have truly cherished. Frozen in time, shattered inside, she remained unaware that the light she sought was always within reach, obscured only by darkness.

Now old and afflicted by an incurable illness, she revisits her life, imagining what might have been if he had never been taken from her. In her memories, she finds a way to save their love, traveling back and forth through time within her mind to ensure his sons happiness. In her final hours, she finally expresses the love she had hidden from him for fifty years.

Despite enduring profound sadness and hardship, she finds peace, focusing on the joyful moments of her life. In her last moments, she crosses into the "light," embracing her eternal love as they find solace in each other's arms.

I doubt there's anything else quite like this story anywhere else!"
